Underfoot Client with classic spell effects!
 

So, I don't know if it is well-known or not, I tried searching and couldn't find anything on forums about this BUT I found a pretty easy way to enable classic spell effects on Underfoot clients without adding anything. Just delete:
.../everquest/spellsnew.edd
.../everquest/spellsnew.eff

Thanks to Samataman for reposting it.

I hope someone finds this useful!

Just fyi to any server devs who want to set all spell animations to classic.

Run this query on your spells new table.

It will then use the classic spell animations set in the field 'SpellAffectIndex'

Of course this is irreversible so be careful.

I wish it were this easy; however, since DX9 clients they only partially work. No effects are able to attach themselves to the character models so anything that required the root_bone locations don't work. This includes hands, waist, etc.

Thanks Kayen!
